Name

Increment — objCounter .Increment( strCounterName )

Synopsis

Increments a counter in the Counters component. If you attempt to increment a counter that does not yet exist, the counter is created and its value is set to 1. The new value of the counter is returned.

Parameters

strCounterName

A string that represents the name of the counter variable you wish to manipulate. This name can contain any Unicode character.

Example

The following example assumes a Counters object (gobjOptionCounter) has been instantiated elsewhere (see Section 18.2 earlier in this chapter) and demonstrates the use of the Increment method.
